Abstract
This report will assist decision makers
and other stakeholders in Ulaanbaatar in deciding how to
improve sanitation in the Ger areas, which are fast-growing,
largely unplanned peri-urban settlements around the city. It
is part of a larger study on improving sanitation in cold
regions where sewerage may not be a practical solution. The
report grew out of a pilot project meant to improve
sanitation in the Ger areas by connecting households to the
municipal water supply system and to a small, independent
sewerage system. For a number of reasons, operating the
system was very challenging. Thus, the question arose of
what practicable, affordable technical options exist for
improving sanitation in the Ger areas of Ulaanbaatar and
other cold regions. The study is aimed at answering that question.
